07. A letter home to Bark.
Dearest Bark,
I must confess something to you or the guilt will eat me alive, I fear.
I was stricken by what I presume was a love arrow on Valentine's Day. It made me act... uncouthly, to be blunt. I was temporarily infatuated with another girl at school, and am horrified by my behavior. Never in my life would I intend to cheat on you. My heart belongs to you, I assure you. It meant nothing, and was sparred by a cruel practical joke.
This is also the reason I didn't write to you that day. Know that I.... [expressing emotions? ogodblaze y so difficult] still miss you.
Knuckles sends his regards.
Sincerely,
~Blaze
Knuckles,
I need a ... [spill it, woman] ... friend, to talk to. It's about Bark. Please let me know when the best time to meet up would be. If you are too busy, I understand.
~Blaze
